Update 9.15.1 Feedback thread: EU/NA

I’ve played 9.15.1 and honestly, I’m not very satisfied. The game feels almost like the graphical settings reversed into 8.0 patches, especially when it comes to the mini-maps. I’m usually okay with changes but the game right now looks washed out, it doesn’t feel right at all.

Also, mini-map dimensions are really retarded right now.

Note: I did checked the SEA forum but they still only have the old feedback gathering for previous patch.

Im very disapponted i quit wot since the biest and the size change to the fv304 so sorry rita but fuck wargamimg im dome i just uninstalled it. They ruined the only fun factor i had.. and the e25 gos without competition hell the su26 has no room for five crew as dose the su-5 if wg undos the fv304size change ill comeback., im done though so bye rita will be the last time you see me here.

If you’re getting shot at in your Bert, you’re doing it wrong in the first place… What does it matter that the thing is getting bigger anyway ? The CGC is a damn barn and that doesn’t prevent it from “balancing” a full health IS-7 camping hard at 35 kph in the front lines.

aren’t you that guy who was flaming about AW how you was going to play it and WoT is dead? you are completly confused, there are people who want to have normal discussion about this games so please be that kind and don’t spoil the talk around here, nobody cares about your meaningless posts and on top of that, maily Rita totally don’t give a F* about what you say about anytihing (GFY with FV304) P.S.: work on your english if you are young one (if you aren’t young one, god help you IRL)

My only moan is that the 30s countdown at the start of the match starts at zero, and stays at zero for 30s. (I have had a couple of 999 pings, but that could be my broadband). If my biggest complaint is a broken countdown, then I really don’t have much to complain about. 😉

I also have the broken countdown, but that could be down to mods. Also…the minimaps. I find that the new maps look retarded, but I could live with that if not for the icon size change. Another problem is the new pinging. I don’t know why they’ve done what they did, but this is terrible. In SH you can barely follow orders, because of the minimap ping contradictions. And last of all, why change the font of the sniper mode zoom text?

So far I like the update… besides one thing. The new minimaps. (Alert: caps lock incoming)
WHY THE FUCK DO YOU HAVE TO RUIN THE FREAKIN’ MINIMAP? Even my manly ass looks better than the minimaps they’ve introduced now..

Low skilled players should be able to progress. Heck if those like Robert Rai are so worried about a low WN8, then they should push for a skill based MM system. If the WN8 of a player can be calculated for MM, then do it. I think it would be good to give those less skilled players an arena for themselves. The higher skilled players then can have at it.

@Xavier: if you play a T-34-2 stock ( 126 pen ), should you get tier 10 games? *wink*
We dont need XVM to tell us how bad a player is, we have performance score, it should be a mm based on PS too.
@JhonjR_1: its my opinion mad, y u heff to be mad? i bet, for you it OK when a top tier tenk ( E5 ) deals 800 dmg, because its focking red and brainless bot… this game is for me and some of this guys a way to relax after a long day, and how can i relax when after 2 min the score is 1-5? and top tier bots are allready dead? I`m not unicum but i allways do my HP dmg. if you cant a bran from inside out, you shouldnt play tier8+. Thats my opionion.

The minimap is indeed aweful and the radio sound when allies die is annoying. I like the new HD models and if I was to ask WG for something in the next patch it would be more HD models, bigger maps and a chinese TD line. (One can dream)

The only two probs I’ve had with the patch so far:
1) Why does the text on the Mini-map scale with the map, makes it near unusable
2) The death radio noise, while sort of useful, gets annoying pretty quickly.

I still can’t find a reason why WC refuses to implement the most used mods in its client. It’s not like they don’t have the info which mods and how much are they used on the servers. This is way beyond lazyness, it’s more like pure idiocity!

🙂 I was refering to the patch and what in particular you see as washed out in WoT as I do not have the same experience. Maybe this is an SD client issue or something as my buddy is saying likewise, concerning the washed out look.

Rita, per normal SEA does not even have the new patch yet. I’m sure we will be one to two weeks late like every other patch. as for feed back, the monkey that runs SEA dose not really like to get feedback. 🙁

I hate the mini map, it looks so bland. I use it as most people should but really hate looking at it. I get lag now and game loads slower ( my pc is very top end and tweaked). Near all mods are broken, the mods are what make WoT worth playing. WG is killing this game, rather than changing the game engine they should give map but it seems no one in WG has any brains to make the game better and keep forcing worthless crap on the players. Version 9.15.0.1 I gave a 80% rating but 9.15.1 gets a 20% as a has been game.

I agree with the graphics comments. The new look just looks and feels like an old game now. Everything looks worse than it did, less realistic. And what did they do to my Bert! I HATE HATE HATE the new Bert look. It FREAKIN HUGE! I can’t hide behind any of the stuff I used to. It was almost unplayable as anything but a camping arty with no range. Forget actually moving into useful close support positions, you get seen now everytime.

Look at those people above who are still complaining about broken mod when WG have announced that the Action Script upgade WILL broke mods, many times before. Yay for no XVM sniping and win chance whining until it’s fixed.

As for the patch itself, since I’m a SEA plebians I can’t give any feedback obviously.

I play on a 32″ screen at 2560×1440 with the minimap at full size. Due to the icons scaling with the size of the map it becomes useless at max size due to icons overlapping and you can’t place the exact position of a tank. Funny how the rest of the interface remains the same size at different resolutions yet blow up the minimap and its like your looking at it under a magnifying glass?!

Being in the SEA area, we’re used to being ignored, told everything late, not included, or generally left to wither on the vine.

On the good side, we’re all looking forward to seeing what colour TV looks like (soon!) as we understand it is amazing, and then seeing what WoT plays like as soon as they release a version that doesn’t require us to use “character mode” on our VDU’s. Again, I’m told that “colour graphics” are simply amazing, some of them even have up too 16 different colours on a single screen at the same time.

We can’t wait to see this wonder of the ages, live and in front of us!

amazing! your either bored kids or non working too much time on your hands, if you all had a actual life you would see how utter shit this game WOT really is now since from the 2014 to now fucked up retarded unless patch updates

As a pre-med student studying at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, I really don’t have much of a life. The path to being a physician in the US is very long (and tough) and reserved for those who are willing to give up their lives now for much better ones in the future. So yeah, I don’t have a life and I know how much WG has screwed up but I still manage to have a (relatively) good time playing.

I have been checking xvm and my favorite mod page a few time a day for a updated mod packs, the few running are using broken xvm thanks to fuking WG and the entry level devs changing the game. One thing for sure is WG will never change any fukup that poops out as a update unless it cost them money and that is a call for a panic update like the selling of rentals that was fixed over night. I really wish someone would clone WoT and give people that like the game a place to go. I played AW as a early access and after its release but couldn’t get into it. Lot of people love AW and that’s fine but it never did it for me. I’m a sand box tester as well and see the path WG wants to go, its not pretty and reminds me of a cheap dollar android app game. Back to the topic…. This last update drags the Very dissatisfied vote to 1 for me as WG likes to use on surveys. And WG if your reading this you have a building full of morons!

I have to say I’m overall pleased with this update. While the minimaps look like WG grabbed a bottle of Chlorox bleach and poured it all over, I am very happy. My laptop is no way a gaming one—of which I think are a complete waste of money—but for the first time in years I’m maintaining 80+ fps on minimum.

The only issue is with the icons on the minimap, which are too big. In rest the new minimaps are fine. More clear, conveying more info , like what buildings are destructible and whuch mot, what terrain is passable, bushes more precisely located.

Not sure why I download and set up the HD content if I get such a bland gfx as a result. The minimap… beh… will probably go with Locastan’s again and see if I can implement some new features rather than sticking to the newly “improved” rubber map by WG.

Glad that the washed out nature isn’t just my new PC. Recently upgraded and thought the lighting was actually painful to look at.
Also can we get some feedback on the HD T57 heavy? I think it’s now horribly overpowered as the new armour scheme appears to be bouncing almost all standard rounds from the mediums at most ranges. With the retarded fast clip reload it’s become a common sight in 9.15.1 to see T57 heavies Killing half a team.

1: When my tracks get blown off and are repaired (without using repair kit) it takes a few (milli)seconds before I can drive off (again) into cover. Before the update, as soon as the tracks were up I could move. It seems ages now.

2. By pressing the ALT-key I could see how much HP the enemy tanks have left, now it’s gone or I have to change something in settings. Maybe it’s a mod thing but I don’t know.

All in all, not much difference but any update with (minor) improvements is an update. I only play on weekends nowadays so won’t see too much.

1) The size of the tank icons on the minimap U.S. ridiculously big, even with the redrawn maps. I’ve noticed I’m not the only one with this problem.
2) The update has broken the platoon system in an unusual way. I can still platoon no problem, but even with pre-created platoons, in every battle it notifies me that we created a platoon. In playing today alone, it happened to me and a friend 4 times in one battle. No clue what caused it, maybe something to do with that action script crap they played with.

And something they did right, the HD models that were updated to bring up to snuff with the current standard, i.e. the hellcat and the M103, look sexy as all hell.

All I can really think of. Any other issues are ones that existed for a while and most people have just accepted that wargaming will never fix, such as the unspoken rule that whichever team has the most high tier mediums wins.

Actually, remembered 4 more things bugging me.
1) I think they updated the sounds again, as the big hits that take out a large chunk of your health produce a ringing sound when hit. I hate it. It’s distracting and irritating.
2) The statements above also apply to the radio static played when an ally does.
3) Whenever your crew repairs a module, it is now taking longer than usual to actually get it working. Once the bar fills up, there is nearly a second, sometimes more, delay before the track or another module is back up, which can be critical.
4) Sometimes the reload sounds get out of sync with the actual reload. I have had this happen in several occasions with my ST-I especially. I’ll hear the shell sliding into the breach and think I’m about to be reloaded, I’ll click, it won’t fire, then I’ll realize I have another 2 seconds before I can actually fire. Modules and crew don’t have anything to do with it, has happened at full hp too.
